Terabit Wave placed an order for a SkyEdge II hub and terminals, including SatTrooper Manpacks, Raysat SOTM antennas, WaveStream BUCs and associated modems, with rollout expected during the third and fourth quarters of 2014. Terabit Wave won the contract through a competitive bidding process that involved leading global and local solution providers.

"The name of the game in today's communications is Mobility. Gilat's SOTM solutions are especially suited for the kind of emergency operations that our client was concerned about," explained U Tay Za Tun, CEO at Terabit Wave. "We selected Gilat for its unique technology and because it is a one-stop-shop with a fully integrated solution."

"Terabit Wave needed to provide a Ku-band SOTM integrated solution," said Erez Antebi, Gilat's CEO. "Our terminals answered their specifications not only for their compact, lightweight design but also because they can be set up and dismantled quickly and are easy to operate."
